Description

Highlights: • 4D MRI is a feasible modality for the localization of parathyroid lesions. • Parathyroid adenomas can be localized using non-contrast enhanced MRI sequences. • Combined use of MRI with US or 99mTc-sestamibi yields higher sensitivity than individual use of US or 99mTc-sestamibi. • Most of the parathyroid adenomas exhibit hypervascular nature on MRI. • Rapid arterial enhancement contributes moderately to the lesion detection. - Abstract: PurposeThe aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of four-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (4D MRI) at 3 T for the localization of parathyroid adenomas.
